# Linking A Scene To A World

### Linking a scene to a world

It is possible to link an existing world to a different scene template after the world has been created or after a linked scene is deleted from the world. This can be used to easily update, back up, or completely change the content of a world without breaking existing links to the world or needing to publish a new world.

### Linking a scene

To link an existing world to a new scene layout:

1. Go to the [My Worlds panel](/latest/creating-in-sansar/creatortools/my-worlds-panel.md).
2. Select the world that you want to link a scene to.
3. Click **More Options** ![more\_icon\_sm.png](https://i3.wp.com/help.sansar.com/hc/article_attachments/115012453486/more_icon_sm.png) for that world, which opens a popup menu.
4. In the popup menu, choose **Link to another scene**.

   | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
   | Select **Link to another scene**.                                                                                        |
5. This opens a dialog where you can link your world to a new scene template. From the dropdown menu, choose a new scene template or choose 'no scene' if you want to unlink the current scene from the world.

   | Choose a scene from the dropdown menu.                                                          |
6. Once you selected a scene to link, click **Replace** to change the scene template linked to the world you are managing.

   | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | Click **Replace**.                                                                              |

### Scene template tags

Here is a list of tags that may be attached to your scene template in the scene dropdown menu:

* (unpublished) - The selected scene must first be built before it can be used in a world. You can [build your scene](/latest/creating-in-sansar/managing-worlds/saving-and-building-scene.md) in the Scene Editor.
* (in use) - If you choose a scene that is already linked to another world, the scene is reassigned to the new world and is unlinked from the older world.
* (current) - The selected scene is the currently linked scene for this world.
* *no tag* - Unused scenes have no tags attached to the scene in the dropdown menu.

**Notes:**

* You can not link a world to a scene template that is currently being edited. To link a world to that scene, simply leave the scene that is being edited.
* A world can only be linked to one scene at a time. However, it is possible to teleport between worlds using URLs and [teleport scripts](/latest/creating-in-sansar/working-with-scripts/configuring-teleport-scripts.md) in order to transition from one scene to another without visiting the Prime Portal or using the Codex.
* Likewise, each scene can only be linked to one world at a time, but you may make a copy of a scene template by [creating a new world](/latest/creating-in-sansar/creatortools/creating-a-world.md) using the scene as the starting content.
* If you attempt to link a second world to a scene, the first world becomes unlinked in favor of the new world.
